Best Isometric Exercises for Athletes

[@sir_bhlyme]

Tendon stiffness is definitely something I wish I had some focus on in my early days of athletics. Having grappled with tendinitis over the last decade it would've saved this pain later on. Great vid, will be incorporating this into my off season.

Isometrics are extremely underrated in most people’s training, whether they be athletes or average people. Good info, I love the queue of pulling the feet closer together while in split squat. Reminds me of using slider lunges, it’s the same concept on the concentric and really makes the Ruffin muscle recruitment.

When I'm standing in line, I like to try and pull my feet together without moving them. I use it as a supplemental isometric exercise for my leg adductors. Helps with bjj.

Isometrics are great. Look into the device called the isochain which can quantify how much force you're producing with the exercises up to 1000lbs

Chris you're right. 'fast relaxing and contracting in specific joint angles and movement patterns' brings results. Especially sprinting benefits so much from this lengthend hip splits. There is the believe that it's all about the ground contact phase in running/sprinting. Yes it plays a part BUT the thigh switch position at toe off is much more crucial for elite speed! Beining able to quickly decelerate and accelerate the limbs/thighs is key. Those oscillating isometric exercises in the deep split position will improve thigh switching speed! The only fault with those exercise is it's closed chain (front foot on the ground), where as the crucial sprint position is open chain! Puting the leg into slings would solve this.

whats for hamstrings coach

[@overtimeathletes]

I like Iso Nordic Holds at various joint angles

[@nisutecht2473]

During triphasic training especially the isometric phase do I want to get some hypertrophy work (glutes, quads, calves, hamstrings) or just the isometric work for the lower body?

[@CookiezStupidity]

Is there any sets and rep range that we could follow? And do we do this like 3 times a week or how frequent would this be like?

[@benabedchakib4374]

Very Good 👍💪🇩🇿

What really makes me sad is that you forgot to say “signing out” at the end of the video😔

[@SeekNDestroy215]

Coach how come guys like Zion Williamson have huge legs/ quads and are big but can still jump out the gym? I thought having those bulky builds killed athleticism?

[@devinstudstill4391]

Isometrics in programming change the game.

Good for knee pain

Ummm...when there is movement, it's no longer isometric....it's a ballistic movement.
